On March 25th and April 1st, during the diocese wide “The Light is ON for You!” event, all parishes in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas will have their “lights on” for confession and quiet prayer so that Catholics can come to or return to this incredible source of God’s grace, mercy and healing.
Mater Dei Latin Mass Parish will have extended hours for Confession available during this event:
- Wednesday, March 25th – 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
- Wednesday, April 1st – 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
In addition, Mater Dei always offers Confession on Sundays beginning at 6:50a, continuing through all Masses, and after as needed, and on weekdays 30 minutes before every Mass, and after Masses as needed.

The Church encourages us to make confession a regular part of our spiritual life, especially during the holy season of Lent, as we reflect on our baptism and repentance. Bishop Kevin J. Farrell is helping to make this experience possible by arranging for a Lenten initiative called The Light Is ON For You!
“Don’t be afraid of Confession. When you go into a confessional, you have so many emotions, including shame. But afterwords you feel free, great, beautiful and forgiven … Each one of you should ask yourselves: When was the last time I went to Confession? If a lot of time has passed, then don’t let another day go by. Go forward.” – Pope Francis, February 19, 2014
